"We should have your houses set up in about five maybe six days," the knights said to them as he looked around the land where the new village would be set up.
'You don't have to" the man said as he tried to keep their debt to the knights from getting any higher.
"Listen, we aren't doing this because we feel pity for you and the people with you, trust me when I say this your people won't survive one night out here," the knight said to him
"What do you mean?' the man asked the knight, but the truth was he already knew that all of their food had been stolen and the animals they brought with them were gone, so the chances that they would survive now were slim at best.
"You probably haven't noticed it, but we're being watched, we have been ever since your people stopped to get some rest," the knight said to him as he looked into the forest.
'Are they dangerous?" the man asked the knight who seemed to look at something he couldn't see.
"Yeah, but they can't do anything to the people that are with her" the knight answered him and the man could easily understand that the knight was referring to the saint or perhaps the angel that was keeping the rest of the villagers safe
'So they're only a threat to us" the knight said as he kneeled and picked up a small rock
He watched as the knight s expression became cold, it was as if the man was trying to keep his emotions in check.
"Excuse me for a second" the knight said to him as he walked to the edge of the forest
'I know that you're there show yourselves, this land is under the Armies protection" he heard the knight declare, but he never raised his voice nor did he look hostile in any way.
Up until this very moment to the man the knights had all looked no different than regular men, who wore grey almost black armor that could have easily been mistaken for stone but was made out of metal.
Yet right before the man's eyes the knights seemed to grow with every passing second, they somehow looked taller and despite the top halves of their heads and faces being hidden underneath their helmets, the knights might as well have had been wearing masks.
"Elves' the man heard one of the knights say, yet to the man, it sounded as if the knight had to spit the word out of his mouth.
The man watched as a beautiful woman who wore a long brown dress, that seemed to be made of plants walked out of the forest, how had he not seen here was a mystery to the man and the rest of the villagers that were watching the woman and her guards step out of the forest.
Al of the elves had black hair and their ears were as pointy as the stories said, but it was her worldly beauty that made the man and the rest of the villagers gasp.
Yet as the man watched he noticed that none of the knights reacted to the elves' presence, yet as he kept on looking he soon found that the knights had all become hostile and were preparing themselves to fight should the need arise.
"Put your weapons down and remove any armor that you're wearing and only then will I listen to what you have to say," the knight said to the elven woman
The man watched as the woman let out a small gasp yet did as she was told, she began to remove her dress, yet the knight immediately stopped her from doing so.
"Are your clothes your only protection?" the knight asked the woman noded
"What do you want?" the knight asked the elven woman with a firm voice that left no hints to any ulterior motives.
"These are wats left of my people, our home is gone, we wish to be able to live in these lands'" the Elf Queen said to the knight
"That's not my decision to make, the forest doesn't belong to me, nor does it belong to these people, unless someone is living there then that place doesn't belong to anyone" the night answered the elf queen
"...We're still new in the area if you want permission to live anywhere the only place I know that has any authority is the guild in a town not too far from here," the knight said to the elf queen who only bowed at him
The man watched as the elf queen walked back into the forest and was quickly escorted away by her guards.
"Did you see that?" the knight said to someone the man couldn't see
"Yeah" Heathcliff answered
"Since when do elves as for permission to do anything?" the knight said as he looked into the forest
"If you think that's weird you should see what the others just found" Heathcliff answered the knight back
"What?" the knight asked as the image of the floor bosses standing in front of the fortress was sent to him
"It looks like when you guys summoned the goddess it acted as a beacon and they just showed up here."
" I mean it's not like we could stop them, they just walked into the fortress looked for an empty room, and made themselves at home" Heathcliff answered the knight.
"So anyway we're going to be helping the settlers set upshot for the next few days, so we won't be back for a while," the knight said to Heathcliff
"Don't worry e will keep the place safe, I mean we did just get a massive boost to our defenses" Heathcliff answered the Knight before both men cut communications
Unfortunately to the man he only heard the knight talking to himself and didn't hear the answers the knight receive, but he had lived long enough to know that some questions didn't need to be asked.
